Document Summary

At this point, pyruvate can either be used: In fermentation to form fermentation products (alcohols, acids, gases) In respiration (tca cycle) to be fully oxidized to carbon dioxide. From 1 glucose molecule a net of 2 atp are produced. Reduction of pyruvate fermentation products: nad, respiration. From 1 glucose molecule up to 38 atp are produced. Oxidation of pyruvate by citric acid cycle. 13. 21 start with pyruvic acid from glycolysis >> converted to>> alcohol, lactic acid, propionic acid (swiss cheese), isopropanol: **nadh is converted back to nad in all those conversions. Types of fermentation: homolactic fermentation- once electrons from nadh are passed to pyruvate, pyruvate is reduced to lactic acid, ex. Lactobacillus ferments lactose sugar in milk to produce lactic acid, this gives us yogurt. Final electron acceptor may be an inorganic compound such as nitrate, ferric iron, sulfate: alcoholic fermentation- once electrons are passed from nadh to pyruvate, pyruvate is reduced to alcohol &co2, ex.

Fill in the blank in the following table:

metabolic cycle	location pro/ eukaryote	components	substrates	products	pathway purpose
embden- meyerhof- parnas (glycolysis)	cytoplasm/ cytoplasm	10 enzymes
pentose phosphate pathway	cytoplasm/ cytoplasm	dozen enzyme	1 Glucose (6 carbon), 1 NADP, 1ATP	1 Ribose-P (5 carbon) + 1CO2, 1NADPH, or sugars, 1 ADP	Nucleotide synthesis, NADPH for anabolism
PDH reaction	cytoplasm/ mitochondria matrix
TCA/ Krebs/ citric acid cycle					generation of high energy electron carriers, provide metabolic precursors
Electron transport chain + ATP synthase (aerobic respiration)
Electron transport chain + ATP synthase (anaerobic respiration)			1Nitrate or sulfate or CO2, 1NADH + ____ ADP Or 1FADH2+ ____ ADP	N2, or NO2 or H2S or CH4 1NAD + ____ ATP Or 1FADH2+ ____ ATP	Generate proton motive forces abd use to generate ATP regenerate NAD+
Fermentation	cytoplasm/ cytoplasm	1 or more enzymes (vary by organism)	1 pyruvate, 1 NADH	1 alcohol or acid (maybe 1 CO2) NAD+	Regenerate NAD+

The pentose phosphate pathway, an alternative to glycolysis, is used to catabolize five carbon sugars. One ATP molecule and 12 NADPH molecules are produced from one glucose molecule. Glycolysis is the most common pathway for the oxidation of glucose. Two pryuvic acid molecules are the end product. There is a net gain of two ATP molecules and two NADH molecules per molecule of glucose oxidized through glycolysis.

Pyruvic acid loses one carboxyl group, and CO2 is a byproduct, during the transition step. Two carbon acetyl groups are oxidized in the Krebs cycle. Electrons are picked up by NAD+ and FAD for the electron transport system.

7. Suppose an individual has mitochondria that leak cytochromes, what effect might this dysfunction have on the ability of the cell to function? Why?
